What is a dental inlay?
A dental inlay is a type of restoration used to repair the chewing surface of a tooth. It fits within the grooves of the tooth and is typically used when the damage or decay is too extensive for a simple filling but not severe enough to require a crown.

What is a dental onlay?
A dental onlay, similar to an inlay, extends over one or more cusps of the tooth. It’s ideal for more significant restorations where the tooth damage involves one or more cusps. It provides additional reinforcement and protection compared to inlays.
